The EServer is a growing online community where hundreds of writers, artists, editors and scholars gather to publish works as open archives, available free of charge to readers.

In a publishing industry dominated by corporate publishing of books and ebooks, value is placed on works that sell to broad markets. Quick turnover, high-visibility marketing campaigns for bestsellers, and corporate "superstore" bookstores have all made it difficult for unique and older texts to be published. (Further, the costs this marketing adds to all books discourage people from leisure reading as a common practice.) And publishers tend to encourage authors to write books with strong appeal to the current, undermining (if unknowingly) writings with longer-term implications.

We are a Community

Are you working on a project, or do you have an idea that you want others to hear about? Do you already have a work that may need editorial input? Do you think you have knowledge to help new writers in their endeavours? Do you want to publish something online which may require advanced web technologies? Read about membership! Our co-op provides a forum where your project can receive feedback and assistance from our members--and when you're ready, working with one of our collection editors, you can publish with us to a worldwide audience.

If you are not already familiar with the EServer, we suggest that you browse this document, reviewing "What the EServer Publishes," and work your way through the document, following links. If you have any additional questions, contact us at webmaster@eserver.org.
